Hi all,

As discussed earlier we'd like to get rid of black console window behind 
Bazaar Explorer window and/or qbzr dialogs. For achieve this we need 
special version of bzr.exe built as windows GUI application. Py2exe has 
option to create such binaries, so I did quick hack: copy bzr script to 
bzrw.py and add the latter to gui_targets list in setup.py.

Resulting executable bzrw.exe is available for testing for those who 
using bzr 1.18 installer:

http://bzrdev.bialix.com/bzrw.exe

You need just copy it to your C:\Program Files\Bazaar directory along 
with bzr.exe.

If you're using bzr-explorer and can test it, then please run "bzrw.exe 
explorer" and try to work as usual. There is possible artifacts. I'd 
like to hear about them. You need to use latest qbzr trunk where I've 
already fixed one problem related to bzrw.exe.

If you're using python-based version you can help too: create bzrw.bat 
wrapper where use pythonw.exe to run bzr script with GUI commands.

If you build your own bzr.exe/installer here is diff to apply for setup.py:
